Showcase: Getting started

Dropbox Showcase is a way to share your work with partners and clients on a single page. You can guide people through your content, add your own branding, and automatically keep track of who views, downloads, and comments.

Showcase is available to all users on the Dropbox Professional plan, and to Dropbox Business teams on an Advanced, Enterprise, or Education plan.

In this 30-minute course, a live instructor will show you how to use Showcase to share a curated portfolio of your (or your team's) work. You'll also get tips and tricks, and see how to manage sharing access.
